A free, open-source service that sends data from any online experiment directly to the Open Science Framework. No server setup, no download step.
Built by the jsPsych team

// Send data with a fetch request fetch(url, { method: "POST", headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json" }, body: JSON.stringify({ experimentID: "your_id", filename: "subject01.csv", data: dataAsString }) });
Using jsPsych? One trial saves all your data.
How it works
1.
Create an OSF project and link your OSF account to DataPipe.
2.
Set up an experiment on DataPipe and add a few lines of code to your study to send data through the API.
3.
Activate data collection. Participant data goes straight to your OSF project as files — no downloads, no manual transfers.
Features
Born-open data collection
DataPipe sends experiment data directly to a public repository as it is collected, making openness the default rather than an afterthought. Read more about the rationale and design in Behavior Research Methods. If you use DataPipe in your research, we'd appreciate a citation!
Multiple data formats
Send CSV, JSON, or base64-encoded files like audio and video recordings. DataPipe handles decoding and storage automatically.
Built-in safeguards
Data validation, session limits, and required field checks protect your OSF project from malformed or malicious submissions.
Condition assignment
Automatically cycle through experimental conditions with balanced assignment, no server-side code required.
